Skunk: I've been an eBay seller for over ten years now. I don't think I need to be briefed about how Paypal works. If I don't get a response from them soon, though, I'm going to have no choice but to go through with my threat and open a dispute. If they don't want to take my warning seriously (and, you know, the whole concept of trade), maybe they'll get around to checking their spam box or something once Paypal sends them a line.
-------------------------------------------
As for their being flooded with emails, that doesn't seem likely. They're running well enough to send out account confirmation links, accept money, and send invoices (which, may I add, could have included more than just a link to the invoice page, such as, say, a link to my downloads, maybe?). Now, before your defensiveness convinces me of some level of involvement on your part, why don't you go ahead and put your money where your mouth is? If you feel they deserve this money in any way, why not go ahead and chip in $3 and wait to get what you've paid for? Surely there can be no harm in it? Perhaps then you'll even have something more contributive to say, and you'll be able to tell bqwert1 and myself how to get our games rather than playing devil's advocate.
So you have paypal experience...does that justify the condescending reply? I was just offering some theories as to why you all didn't get your games while advising people not scream scam for no reason before more was known. :\ -------------------------------------------

The accepting of money/sending out confirmations/sending invoices is most likely automated and/or setup correctly while their system for sending out downloads/links could be screwed up royally. We don't know, so arguing either way is mostly pointless. As for my defensiveness, I was merely providing a rational counter to those stating "I didn't get an email....OMG SCAM!"
Also why should I have to defend myself against anything for making a counterpoint to yours?
(To be honest I dunno if I want the bundle yet, and to me 3 bucks is even too much to risk as it's 3 bucks I can use to eat/buy other games/etc. And if something goes wrong then it's my arse in the wind.)
